When I was about 6, I had to do these writing exercises to correct my vision (I didn't do those for kindergarten, lol). I would draw something like a (^) but larger and call it a triangle, and my parents must have laughed or something but they played along. I really thought that triangles looked like that... When I drew an actual triangle saying I was drawing a shirt my parents told me to draw more of those, but even after I realized what triangles really looked like, it still took me a while to stop believing they looked like (^) before I drew the first correct triangle.
